Very interesting place which gives a good insight into the life of a tin miner. The tour was fabulous...the guide, an ex miner, was very knowledgable and engaging.

What an absolute treasure of a place this is, bookable via the national trust, fantastic and very informative tour of the mines and the workings, some very sad history associated with the mine, this just makes the tour more worthwhile with the history. Good size carpark and toilets are available.

I walked through the area and really wanted to learn more about the history and buildings scattered around the coast. I find the National Trust do tours so booked a slot online and found it really interesting. You can walk freely around the site but the tooth explained the history and gave an idea what life would have been like when the mines were operating. Seeing the machinery in operation was great and it's apparently now unique in the world so well with a couple of hours and £11.

Small mine museum with beam engine in the great Cornish landscape. The tour must be booked in advance, there are not many spots available. Only open from Sunday to Thursday

Unfortunately I was unable to get a booking for the tour, but the outside is accessible without so this is what I did. Absolutely fascinating walking around the old structures, which are well described with various sign boards. However the scenery is what really steals the show, I was able to go on a gloriously sunny day and I was expecting to see the cast of Poldark at any moment (Levant mine is the filming location for Wheal Leisure). Beautiful site well worth a visit for the exterior alone.
